# Introduction

> Boltcall is an AI phone receptionist and lead engagement platform built for local businesses.

Boltcall answers your phones, replies to new leads, books appointments, and follows up with customers — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You get more bookings without hiring extra staff.

## Who it's for

Boltcall is built for local service businesses that depend on phone calls and leads to grow:

* **Medical & wellness** — dentists, med spas, healthcare providers

* **Legal & professional** — law firms, consultants
* **Beauty & fitness** — salons, fitness studios
* **Hospitality & retail** — restaurants, retail stores
* **Other local businesses** — real estate agents, education providers, and more

If a missed call means a missed customer, Boltcall is for you.

## What Boltcall does

**24/7 AI call answering** — Your AI receptionist picks up every call, greets callers by business name, and handles common questions — even after hours and on weekends.

**Instant lead reply** — When a new lead comes in from your website, ads, or a form, Boltcall contacts them within seconds so you're always first to respond.

**SMS booking** — Boltcall texts leads and customers to confirm appointments, reducing no-shows and double-bookings.

**Automated reminders** — Appointment reminders go out automatically so customers show up prepared.

**Website chat widget** — A chat widget on your site captures visitors and routes them into the same lead flow as your phone calls.

**CRM sync** — Lead data, call summaries, and conversation history sync to your CRM so your team always has full context.
